What have you done to your car today?

[NachaLuva]

Welded up a trolley for the mig today. Took a while plus some of the welds are a bit dodgy but its much needed practice lol

What has that to do with my Foz you ask?

Its the 1st bit of welding I have done in over 10yrs, practice for doing some welding on the body lift kit I have (tieing the rear trailing arm blocks together) then the biggie...fabbing up a combination bullbar mount/recovery point/winch mount. I'll really need my skills honed for that one!

plus when the wife borrows my car I wont have to worry about my light bar looking like a piece of spaghetti after she hits something.

LOL! :lol:

Finally got my PIAA 540s on.

It doesn't get much better than a MIG and a cold beer does it Nacha? :ebiggrin:

Got the amp and wiring for my sub, hopefully I will get it in this weekend

 

[stilson]

Finally got the right wiring splitters for my bixenons, now I have the halogen and HID high beams.

I think I might still need some spotties or an LED light bar angled up so when coming down a dune at night I can see up the next dune. It hard to commit to a climb if you can't see it.

Thats very true

LED light bars are awesome but so expensive. The opposite to spotties though, they give a very broad spread of light, great for seeing around bends, up hills/dunes or seeing wildlife on the side of the road

Thanks.. I am glad I finally got them. These are the driving and plan on buying H3 Ion crystal fog bulbs to interchange.

Changed the transmission fluid in the liberty today, went to check the rear diff oil and could not budge the plug

I've had that too. I thoroughly cleaned the diff then soaked the plugs with Penetrene & used a plug tool that Ratbag was kind enough to lend me. I now have a plug socket for it....

I used a breaker bar that fit in perfectly.

Well today I went to install my amp and sub today, I mapped out all of the cable runs, I then decided it was all to hard and had a beer.:biggrin:

^ that's a great days work! ;-)

 

[idw]

Found out my High country trip saw the end of my front d/s ball joint, so I may as well replace both of them, mechanic also gave me a split cv boot kit (one of those sovlent welding boots) so i'll give that a try when my duct tape job fails, 22,000km and no sign of leaks haha

 

[pnwoutback08]

Finally a warm day and no rain ,so finally washed my OB.
Next week it gets a full int/ext detailing.

 

[tomtom88]

I wanted to wash and detail my fozzie today, but we will be getting some weather tomorrow night and Tuesday so I held off. I DID however change the oil and oil filter, also installed a nice new K&N Engine Air Filter. She purrs nicely now!

Ordered a DCCDPro for the STI box I found in England which I should get within a week.

 

[casperfromholland]

Maybe a stupid question...
What is a DCCDpro?

 

[jf1sf5]

Its a controller you need if you want to lock the center diff when you put a DCCD (driver control center differential) that comes out of an Impreza STI.

I also rang the mechanic that makes my locker...there's a bit of delay, I think another month...
